After 30 years of dedication and unabashed support, the super fan group The Hogettes are disbanding. The decision was made by Michael Torbert, known as Boss Hogette.

Widely recognized for their hog noses and dresses, The Hogettes were formed in support of the Redskins famous, dominant offensive line from the called The Hogs. From there, the group’s popularity grew immensely and became engrained in Redskins society.

They have used their notoriety to support numerous charities and were inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s VISA Hall of Fans in 2004.

Dave Spigler, aka “Spiggy Hogette,” said over the phone that The Hogettes will still participate in charity events but will not do it under “The Hogettes” name, as it is trademarked.

True, although I think folks have considered other later individual lineman (ex. Samuels, Jansen, T. Williams v. 2012) to have been cut from the same cloth, so there was a sort of continuity there even if the entire line as a unit wasn't "Hog-worthy".

As of 11/27/07, I resolve to never again read any version of the Washington Post.

I've always wanted to get something going alongside the Hogs. Much respect to them and their work. Wouldn't mind putting something together with some people, and I have the means of doing it. Just need some ideas and some people to join me. People who could travel to half the games a year home and away, and who have access to capital for charitable purposes. Setting up a nonprofit and figuring out a goal for those funds would be critical.

Call ourselves the G-men and wear gold pants and burgundy jackets. Cause could be a number of different things not just DC related.

Miss you 21
